West Ham vs Nottingham Forest Match Prediction
West Ham head into this clash under huge pressure, with Saturday’s heavy defeat to bottom-of-the-table Wolves leaving them four points adrift of safety and staring at the real possibility of a seventh-point gap if they suffer another loss here.
Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have now lost five of their last six games and desperately need a response in what feels like their most important Premier League fixture in years.
Nottingham Forest arrive in equally poor form after a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa made it four losses in a row, as Sean Dyche’s early momentum has completely unravelled.
With both sides sliding and this fixture shaping up as a potential relegation shoot-out, the stakes could hardly be higher.
Expect an intense, nervous contest, with the result likely to have major implications for who stays up and who goes down.
